I figure someone in this group can help me with this question. I want to
port an application from Turbo C to compile under the GCC in Linux, but
I'm stuck by the include file called conio.h. Is there a direct
replacement in the GCC for that header ?

TIA...

I believe the equivalent in UNIX is direct IO functions in UNIX are located
in "curses.h".  You'll have to do some slight modifications to the 
functions, but you should be able to easily make compatibale conio 
functions from the curses library.

Isnt conio.h for console output? under dos? what happens if you comment
out the header?

I know you already found a workaround for conio.h in your application, but
I just thought I'd mention to the list since it was brought up that there
is a unix conio.h package available at sunsite.unc.edu (I forget the
location, but its in the linux software map) the Home Site is:
